Easy Pita Pizza
In our house we eat pizza at least once a week! And sometimes when we are short on time and don’t have time to make homemade pizza we make these easy pita pizzas instead! This is also a great recipe to get kids in the kitchen! I set my toddlers up with the toasted pitas and let them add their own sauce, cheese and their favorite topping! Spend a couple extra minutes and make your own homemade pizza sauce or take the shortcut and use jared marinara like I did. Have fun picking your favorite toppings (we like to offer a toppings bar) see below for topping ideas!
Pita Pizza Ingredients
Pitas: Whole wheat or regular pitas work! If you can’t find pita (my grocery store doesn’t always have it) then you can use mini naan bread instead. Marinara Sauce: You can make your own pizza sauce from canned tomatoes and herbs or you can buy a jared marinara! This is our favorite tomato sauce and what we used to make these pita pizzas. Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: I like to use whole milk mozzarella cheese for the most flavor. You can shred it yourself or buy pre-shredded cheese. Toppings: We used pepperoni, olives, bell peppers and onions. See below for more topping options!
How to Make Pita Pizza
Toast pitas: This is an important step for CRISPY pita pizzas! I like to broil the pizzas for 1-2 minutes on each side until they start to get a bit golden brown and crispy.
Next prep your pizzas: Lay out the pitas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ladle about 2 tablespoons of marinara onto each pita and spread the sauce until there is a little space for a crust.
Add Toppings: Top with mozzarella cheese (1/3 cup for each pizza) and add your desired toppings.
Cook pizza: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
